wanderlust

The early numbers are in…here are the trending spring break destinations for 2019 so far this year.

We created a ranking of most booked destinations for March (booked in January) for 2018 and compared that same ranking to spring break trips booked over the same time period in 2019. These are the spring break destinations that have been moving up in the rankings for 2019 compared to last year.

If you’ve been struck by the travel bug and have a serious case of wanderlust, chances are you have an Instagram feed filled with travel bloggers. Some of those bloggers are probably classified as your typical Instagram travel couples. You envy their super cool pictures and their choice in destinations. You’re wondering when you are going to find someone to capture magical moments like the ones you have been seeing on your feed. Well, we’re going to let you in on a little secret: you don’t need a significant other to travel with. If you’re single this Valentine’s Day, treat yourself and catch flights not feelings.

We all get wrapped up in our daily lives and put our dreams of traveling on the back burner. But what if one day you decide to make them a priority? It is indeed possible. Chelsea and Tien will tell you how.

The announcement that Malia Obama plans to take a Gap Year before she attends Harvard in 2017 is proof that it is not only the concept, but the term, that is gaining a foothold in the US market.

Island hopping in Thailand has always been a dream of mine. It wasn’t long after arriving in Bangkok, Thailand that I booked my flights to Phuket and planned my week accordingly to hit them all: Phuket, Krabi, Ko Phi Phi and Koh Lanta.
